A lorry which struck a rail bridge over one of the busiest roads in Dunfermline has been removed.
The vehicle, which struck the bridge on Halbeath Road shortly before 10.30am on Saturday morning, was stuck for most of the day.
It was removed just before 5pm and the road was reopened shortly after.
Nobody has been injured and police have reported the driver to the Procurator Fiscal for road traffic offences.
Stagecoach buses which travel along the route were diverted via Linburn Road and Woodmill Road.
Trains running over the bridge were temporarily suspended so engineers could assess any damage.
However within an hour trains recommenced with a speed restriction in place as a precaution.
